About this work

This painting is a square of soft pink with wavy orange lines running diagonally. The lines are uneven—some thick, some thin—like they were drawn by hand. They don’t cross or overlap, just swirl in one direction, fading near the edges. The artist used a matte pink background to make the bright orange lines stand out. The signature "LB" is tucked in the corner, small and simple. Try looking up gouache to see how this paint works.
